Backdoortrojan...cant Get Rid Of It Help!

[BigDaddy555]

I have no idea where it came from, but I have a trojan on my computer that I cannot get rid of. Its called "newbackdoor1" Its sourse file is located in
{ C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\SYSOCM.exe\sysocm.exe } McAfee picks this up and the firewall blocks it from communicating, but it will not delete this file. I tried to delete the source file but it will not allow me to. I even tried finding the registry key, but I cant locate it. Any ideas? the good news is that it cant get around my firewall, the bad news is that it is outright irritating. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

A lot of AV's can't handle trojans, if they even find them. And Mc*f** is one of the worst software products.

Have you tried Spybot Search & Destroy. Google it. It handles a lot of trojans.

Also freeware is a relatively unknown & new trojan scanner & remover. Ewido security suite. http://www.ewido.net/en/

ewido is the best freeware trojan scanner & remover. :)

[BigDaddy555]

oh yeah, I have tried spybot and adaware. They do not pick it up.

[zapjb]

Then try ewido.

DAMMMMMITT! I run "Ewido" and almost everything I have downloaded had some sort of worm. Im sure they were harmless or somekind of tracking system, but I just cant believe how many worms it picked up! (and actually removed them!) GREAT software! THANKS!

[zapjb]

You are welcome. Yes ewido rocks! :lol:

I guess your going to have to get rid of that piece of shit McAfee. :lol:

there are several files that ewido says could not read or something like that. Can these be deleted thru ewido, or will I just have to look up each directory and try to delete there?

I would not delete them if I were you...first be sure what they are....I just scanned my computer, and there were 26 files that could not be scanned...it could be that you are running some programs,( I was) these will probably not be scanned.

[BigDaddy555]

good point, thanks! I didnt mess with the files it could not read

[BigDaddy555]

Oh yeah, the whole point of this thread........Ewido DID get rid of that trojan! I guess the only use for McAfee is the firewall. it seems to work well.

[h1]

:lol: Wrong again. McAfee blows period.

Sygate is a much better firewall. :)

[BigDaddy555]

thanks for recommending sygate, i do like that much better.

[h1]

:lol: NP, I knew you'd like it. :D

[shn]

:lol: I wonder who the lamer was that gave it to ya. :lol:

"If you need a trojan to get in............. then you'll never win." ;)

[Aaron_T]

i got that ewido thing just for safe keeping if ya kno what i mean.


Zonealarm is better than sygate tho :01:
